Is 'We' another example of American-English differing from English-English?

Seems you use it to mean America when in actual fact you mean 'Someone else with Americans tagging along.'
For example: "We beat the British" instead of "France had a proxy war and did the heavy lifting while a good proportion of Americans fought to remain part of the Empire."
Or
"We beat the Germans" instead of "We saw a bunch of **** going on in Europe but decided to stay out until the last moment so we could claim we did something while not actually risking much."

It was out of place. In a thread like this with countless people actually being that stupid your comment kinda just melted in with the rest of them. It's a shame but when there are so many people like that on the internet those kind of jokes need to be clearer else people will just assume the worst of you.

we achieved our goals of national recognization and the right to sail the seas without our sailors being press-ganged into your navy, yeah id call that a win, and id say we've done just fine without canada

You miss understand me. I am not shouting "U.S.A. #1!!!" or anything. In both cases without our allies we would have lost. But because of our support we won. My point is saying we won.

I don't have disillusions of how awesome my country is by any amount. I am just trying to give credit where credit was due.

In the case of WWII a lot of Europeans don't want to admit it because of American Pride, but Europe was in trouble. France was half way under control of the germans and the rest were either now owned by Germany or Russia. Britian was just barely holding on. If the U.S. hadn't came over and helped then Europe would look a lot different than today.
